A Magnolia's Heart Beats

The women at the well are all talking about welcoming home Daddy from work. What could I possibly contribute to this? We have no children living at home and we both work outside the home.

Steve and I always leave for work at the same time and arrive home at the same time. We even ride together! We work 2 blocks apart.

I've always worked outside the home and never regretted it until this year. Oh, what could have been! But it wasn't. No turning back now. She's 23 and has one child of her own and one on the way. She is a stay-at-home mom. Make that a work-at-home mom. Nolan is almost a year old and keeps her far busier than my job here!

So what's my contribution this week?

How can we lay a welcome mat of love for our husbands after a long day of hard work?

:::::: When Steve picks me up each afternoon, the first thing I do is thank him, and the second thing I do is ask him about his day. I want him to know I'm interested in hearing about what goes on 2 doors down. I want him to know I care about him and am interested in his life.

How can we make our homes inviting places where Daddy longs to be at the end of a long day?

::::::: With both of us working outside the home, we have both opted to share in the duties of the house.

How can we involve our children in this process and teach them to show reverence to their Daddy?

:::::: Hmmm........When Kristyn was younger, I made sure she would pray for Steve, and do little things for him like take him ice water when he was cutting grass outside.
